I had 32 racquets at one time, spending more than $1K. After selling most of them mostly at cost, my 6-racquet collection now has a cost basis of about $250. It's very hard to keep the count at this level as there are so many racquets to try.

Do you keep track of the cost and the number of racquets in your collection?

I think I have 31 racquets. I have sold about 20 others, all for more than I paid. My out of pocket costs after figuring in those sales is somewhere around $400. I'm getting ready to unload some more and should be able to get my out of pocket costs back down under $100 while still keeping about 25.

First "real" racquet - Ti Radical OS from HS tennis coach - $50 - cracked and sitting at home
Then LM Radical MP from local tennis store ~ $60 - sold for $60
Ti. Carbon One 1000 from tennis camp coach - $25 - constant search for replacement grommets haha
3 TT Radical OS Tours from the bay - $190 (for the 3 sticks, the optional stringing, 6 racquet bag, and shipping) - still my main sticks
2 Ti. Carbon 6000s, 1 Ti. Carbon 5001, and 1 Ti. Carbon 5000 from the bay - all between $20 and $40 - all are great, nervous about replacement grommets though
POG (2nd version) off the bay - $32 - needs new i.grommets
4D 300 Tour off craig's list signed by James Blake - $65 - too afraid to use it haha, maybe one day
TFight 335 off the bay - $50 - just a plain awesome stick
X-Dual Pro from TT for sale - $80 Christmas present for me - can't wait to get some kevlar in it
LE Agassi Radical from TT for sale - $20 - has a crack, but I'll live

I also acquired 3 racquets for free, I know naming at least one will make you guys jealous haha. Two were sold for $145 after about $45 was spent fixing both up.

Wow, so that's roughly $700 since 8th grade on JUST racquets, even though I can say not all were purchased by me. But I did make $205 on selling racquets. When adding things like lead tape, grommets, head guard tape, grips, etc, the spent # def goes up a lot and the sold # goes down a little haha. So that's $700/15 racquets which = $46.67, not too shabby for the quality I got or created. Never did the math on this stuff before now, so thanks for bringing it up!

Since 2000 when I started having more than one racquet at a time, I've bought racquets only when they are discounted 50% or better. My present main sticks (Radical LEs) cost US$80 brand new a month ago. I got three of them so that makes $240. I also flirted with second hand racquets a month earlier, getting three for under $20 each. So everything I got this year cost under $300. Thats close to the most I've ever spent on racquets in one year.

Used to buy updates of my favorite racquets like the Prestige Mid and the 6.1 90 and 95, then selling the previous models after new ones came out. What would have been close to 1.5K spent turned out to be around $900. I only kept 1 of the K-90, K-95, and the Youtek Prestige Mid racquets because they were my favorite.

FIFTY snowboards???
Holy sh17..
Where in he11 would you store all of them?

50, roughly, maybe more, maybe less, I didn't count them for long time... They come and go all the time...
I have a nice rack in the garage for the once that I ride or sometimes ride. About 15 that are "museum" pieces hang in my office.
